My weight has been up and down since my teen years, Mostly UP.
I have tried diets and exercise that worked for a short time , but put the weight and more back on.In 2000 I had my best results , losing 90 lbs to reach my goal of 180.
At that time I met my beautiful wife Nanette.S
tarting a new postion overnight during that time my weight started to slowly creep up.
2005 when trying to fit into my work clothes , I realized that they were not fitting any longer.
I jumped on the scale and saw my weight was 320lbs.
My wife went out to buy me new clothes that were size 50.
At that point like so many others I needed to do something again.
Through diet and exercise over the next 9 months I lost 60 lbs.
In December 2006 I was rushed to the hospital for difficulty breathing.
I spent 3 days in the hospital and when I left had a 2 week prescription for prednisone.
This stuff worked great but after the 1st week gave me a appetite like a gorilla, helping put 10-15 lbs back on me.
I tried the same routine again for months with no avail.Thats when I decided I needed WLS.
I originally was going to get the lap band, but through seminars and word of mouth found that RNY would be best for me.
I hit a plateau and for the last few months have been at 285 lbs 44.8 BMI.I hope to be at my goal of 180 once again
